Kiwi 'Ken's Red' is a high-yielding variety with a sweeter flavor than traditional green Kiwis. The fruit, about the size of large gooseberries, features vibrant red skin and aromatic flesh, making it both visually appealing and delicious. It stores well, remaining firm and bruise-resistant after harvesting. Known as the Baby Kiwi or Hardy Kiwi, Actinidia arguta is perfect for UK gardens, as it can withstand temperatures as low as -15 to -10°C. These hardy plants produce an abundance of small, smooth, gooseberry-sized fruit that don't require peeling due to the absence of the usual fuzzy skin. Mature vines can yield up to 13kg of fruit. The fast-growing climbers, adorned with fragrant creamy-white flowers in summer, thrive on trellises, pergolas, or walls in a sunny, south-facing spot. The oval-shaped fruits are ready for harvest in September, full of Vitamin C and perfect for eating directly from the vine. Height and spread: 3-4m (10-13ft). Pollination: Female variety (requires a male variety for pollination). Kiwi 'Ken's Red' is a heavy-cropping variety that is sweeter than green-fruited cultivars. Grow kiwi plants in a sunny position in any fertile, well drained soil. A sheltered position is essential as kiwis are particularly sensitive to adverse weather conditions. Prior to planting, incorporate plenty of well rotted manure or garden compost into the planting hole. Plant kiwi vines, firm in and water well. Provide the twining stems with an appropriate support wires strung between sturdy posts, to train as an espalier.

Live Plants

Dobies strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.
